Description: In this work from 2003, James Burnett adds to his long-running "Lost Cities" series of paintings whose subject is idealized places--civilizations of the mind. Over time, this series has included tiny gouaches and large oils, all with abstracted landscape structure. This "Wilbur Flats" work is painted with a brush as broad as a housepainter's with a few confident strokes that place Burnett firmly in the camp of the gestural abstract painters. With simplicity and conviction, Burnett distills painting to its vital essence.

"Wilbur Flats #4" is painted in gouache and watercolor on heavy Arches aquarelle paper with a beautiful irregular edge that makes it suitable for float-mounting.
